Wpfunction.me in pre-saved Code Snippets

I don’t know if it’s exactly a bug or not, but the link to http://www.wpfunction.me/ in the list of Code Snippets pre-installed with the add-on doesn’t work.

Obviously, it doesn’t work because I think that website stopped working 10 years ago or more, which leads me to a second question: Have the example code snippets also not been updated/reviewed for 10 years?

Regardless of whether they have or not, as a MainWP user, seeing those CodeSnippets with a reference to such an old website has given me a pretty bad impression. I’m just saying this in case you consider removing those examples and putting something more up to date.

Just to help MainWP stay up to date.

Hey @suki

Welcome to the MainWP Community!

Thanks for flagging this.

We will double-check the built-in code snippets for our next release of the add-on and remove the reference to WPFunctions.me.

As a user I can say that the Code Snippets extension still works fine. The examples are from 2014 and have indeed a link to an old (3rd party) site. I don’t think that the examples will be updated with an update of the extension, but I agree, that they should be removed/changed for new installs.

You might also want to check out Feedback - MainWP for feature requests.
I know there were plans for big changes for the Code Snippets extension, so snippets could be managed better without looping all sites. I would have to dive into some communication to dig up these plans. I’ll do that later.

I’ve found when I presented my plans, but it was placed on the old platform for feature requests and it looks like the comments weren’t migrated. :cry:

I posted the link on Discord at that time.

@bojan Do you have any idea if that feedback can be recovered? I’m afraid I didn’t save these plans anywhere else…

Hey @josklever

Luckily it got archived by WebArchive and your comment is visible there:

That’s great! Thanks web.archive.org :heart:

I also just found it from the private chat with Keith, so I’ve saved it in my own notes and updated the current feature request: See which Code Snippets apply to a Child Site at a glance - MainWP
